What does By Night (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with a juicy fruit mix of pineapple, mandarin orange, red apple and rhubarb, softened by freesia. The heart brings peach blossom, heliotrope and hawthorn, and the base of sandalwood, vanilla, moss and amber turns it sweet, gourmand and oriental.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and evening and night out lead the occasions. Half of voters find it feminine, and some call it modern. Oriflame Amber Elixir and The Body Shop Vanilla have a close profile.
